Katy Perry although a vegetarian has gotten herself in some beef with the animal rights group PETA! The activists are fighting against the pop star’s use of animals in the the video of her latest single “Roar” Hit the jump for more!
Katy Perry released the visuals to her instant hit “Roar” earlier this month, and although some may appreciate the jungle aesthetics and wild life in the music video, PETA is showing their dislike for the singer’s video direction!
“Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) recently spoke out against Perry’s visuals for “Roar” and the use of animals in the video. PETA, which has long protested the use of animal actors, took issue with said animals in the music video.”
“Animals used for entertainment endure horrific cruelty and suffer from extreme confinement and violent training methods,” a representative for PETA told the Daily Star. “They often become stressed and anxious when hauled around and forced into unfamiliar or frightening situations.”
“The representative added that Perry may have used a company which is under close watch, saying, “The Serengeti Ranch, the animal exhibitor that we believe supplied the animals for the ‘Roar’ video, has been inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture 22 times since 2001.”
The music video filled with Tarzan influence, Katy Perry’s funny rendition of Jane, seems very creative and although I enjoy it i don’t know how I would feel if the animals were mistreated. Hopefully that wasn’t the case!
